Androgen plasma levels in male diabetics. 1984

S Andò, and R Rubens, and R Rottiers

Plasma level of androgens were studied in 47 normal male controls (20-50 yr-old; mean age 38 yr) and in a group of forty-one male diabetics (23-55 yr-old; mean age: 37.5 yr). Of these 36 showed type II and 5 type I diabetes. The results showed that while the mean basal plasma LH was unchanged, there was a decrease in testosterone levels in the diabetics. Moreover, testosterone binding globulin (TeBG) capacity appeared to be augmented and, as a consequence, the apparent free testosterone concentration (AFTC) was markedly decreased. It is interesting to note that the anomalies in androgen secretion observed are rather similar to those found in elderly man and could play some role (with other factors) in the onset of the frequent sexual disturbances in male diabetics.

D003687 Dehydroepiandrosterone A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.

D000728 Androgens Compounds that interact with ANDROGEN RECEPTORS in target tissues to bring about the effects similar to those of TESTOSTERONE. Depending on the target tissues, androgenic effects can be on SEX DIFFERENTIATION; male reproductive organs, SPERMATOGENESIS; secondary male SEX CHARACTERISTICS; LIBIDO; development of muscle mass, strength, and power.

D012738 Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin A glycoprotein migrating as a beta-globulin. Its molecular weight, 52,000 or 95,000-115,000, indicates that it exists as a dimer. The protein binds testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and estradiol in the plasma. Sex hormone-binding protein has the same amino acid sequence as ANDROGEN-BINDING PROTEIN. They differ by their sites of synthesis and post-translational oligosaccharide modifications.
